Legal position of municipalities
We advise on cases relating to or involving the special legal position of municipalities.
Our advice
We advise on issues such as:
- the compatibility of specific municipal transactions with the framework set by municipal authority and special legislation
- municipalities’ authority to carry on business activities, in corporate form or otherwise
- all aspects of the rules of the Municipal Government Act.
We also have considerable experience in municipal company formation, including in connection with:
- specific urban and harbour renewal projects
- the current separation of operational and regulatory responsibilities in the water and waste water sectors
- the upcoming restructuring and opening of the waste disposal sector for enhanced competition between public – i.a. intermunicipal operating companies – and private operators. These changes may also include a requirement of operation in corporate form.
